HOURS BEFORE THE WEDDING, Ariana walked down the the beach, hoping to sit peacefully and undisturbed, which of course didn't happen when Shawn came and sat down next to her silently.

Knocking her shoulder gently, Shawn smiled at Ari lovingly, who laid her head against his shoulder, not seeing the happiness in the boys eyes.

"I'm doing this because you're comfy, i'm still mad at you." Ari muttered, not admitting the joy she felt to have Shawn back in her life.

"That's fine by me," Ari could hear the smile in Shawn voice and chuckled softly.

"I wish we could go back to when everything was easier, now it's all so much harder."

Shawn sighed, wishing he could take back all his regrets and all Ariana's' heartbreak he caused her.

"I never meant to hurt you I swear, I regret everything since that day, never saying goodbye." Shawn looked away from Ari, unable to look at her.

"Why didn't you say goodbye?" She asked quietly,

"I loved you too much, a-and not just as a friend I mean, it would have killed me." Shawn stuttered, "I know, you probably don't like me like tha-"

Shawn was cut off my Ari turning shutting him up but kissing him unexpectedly.

"Wha-" once again Shawn was cut off, "you daft git! I've loved you since I was 9 years old!" Ari told him,

"Wait seriously? That long?"

"Yes! Christ, you were too bloody blind to notice!" Ari laughed at the open mouthed boy. "Close your mouth, you might catch fly's!" She joked, while Shawn still looked in shock.

Looking down at her watch, Ari saw that she now had less time to get changed for her sisters wedding and began to rush. "Crap! We've got to go, c'mon we've got to start getting, it isn't long until the wedding!"

Ari pulled Shawn up, tugging his hand to follow her to the hotel. Shawn tried to get her attention, "Ari, Ari! Wait - Stop!"

Ariana breathed heavily as she turned around. The boy infront of her swiftly kissed her before she could say anything.

After the kiss had ended, the pair stared at each other, not knowing what to say. "Y'know I love you right? And i'll try everything to make it up to you, for what I did." Shawn told Ari, who wrapped her arms around Shawn's torso and laid her head on his chest.

"I love you too," Ari muttered shyly into the boys chest.

"Since you were 9!" Shawn laughed, unable to process the thought on 9 year on Ari in love with him.

"Shut up! I was 9, I didn't know what love was!" Ari huffed while chuckling,

"Mm okay, sure." Shawn slung his arm across Ari's shoulder as they began walking up towards the hotel.

'Let me photograph you in this light,
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were. Before we realized, We were sad of getting old, It made us restless.
It was just like a movie, It was just like a song.
When we were young.'

Ari sang softly, smiling as not only had she gotten her best friend back but she'd finally opened up and so had Shawn.

A/N
New update! I thought that i'll definitely try and do 1 or 2 updates a day for you guys since you all seen to love the book so much! So thank you ♡

Also as soon as this book is finished i'm going to try and start writing a sequel, like 'mamma mia! Here We Go Again' focusing on Ari and Shawn further in life. As well as Sophie & Sky.

I honestly tried to portray Shawn as such a sweetheart, but I don't know how that's going. What do you think of Shawn?

What do you want to happen in the sequel? Any recommendations?

Please comment and vote! Xx
